١ كورنثوس 3

١ 1 وَأَنَا أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ لَمْ أَسْتَطِعْ أَنْ أُكَلِّمَكُمْ كَرُوحِيِّينَ، بَلْ كَجَسَدِيِّينَ كَأَطْفَالٍ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ،

Brothers, I couldn’t speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly, as to babies in Christ.

٢ 2 سَقَيْتُكُمْ لَبَنًا لَا طَعَامًا، لِأَنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَكُونُوا بَعْدُ تَسْتَطِيعُونَ، بَلِ ٱلْآنَ أَيْضًا لَا تَسْتَطِيعُونَ،

I fed you with milk, not with solid food, for you weren’t yet ready. Indeed, you aren’t ready even now,

٣ 3 لِأَنَّكُمْ بَعْدُ جَسَدِيُّونَ. فَإِنَّهُ إِذْ فِيكُمْ حَسَدٌ وَخِصَامٌ وَٱنْشِقَاقٌ، أَلَسْتُمْ جَسَدِيِّينَ وَتَسْلُكُونَ بِحَسَبِ ٱلْبَشَرِ؟

for you are still fleshly. For insofar as there is jealousy, strife, and factions among you, aren’t you fleshly, and don’t you walk in the ways of men?

٤ 4 لِأَنَّهُ مَتَى قَالَ وَاحِدٌ: «أَنَا لِبُولُسَ» وَآخَرُ: «أَنَا لِأَبُلُّوسَ» أَفَلَسْتُمْ جَسَدِيِّينَ؟

For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” aren’t you fleshly?

٥ 5 فَمَنْ هُوَ بُولُسُ؟ وَمَنْ هُوَ أَبُلُّوسُ؟ بَلْ خَادِمَانِ آمَنْتُمْ بِوَاسِطَتِهِمَا، وَكَمَا أَعْطَى ٱلرَّبُّ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ:

Who then is Apollos, and who is Paul, but servants through whom you believed, and each as the Lord gave to him?

٦ 6 أَنَا غَرَسْتُ وَأَبُلُّوسُ سَقَى، لَكِنَّ ٱللهَ كَانَ يُنْمِي.

I planted. Apollos watered. But God gave the increase.

٧ 7 إِذًا لَيْسَ ٱلْغَارِسُ شَيْئًا وَلَا ٱلسَّاقِي، بَلِ ٱللهُ ٱلَّذِي يُنْمِي.

So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.

٨ 8 وَٱلْغَارِسُ وَٱلسَّاقِي هُمَا وَاحِدٌ، وَلَكِنَّ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ سَيَأْخُذُ أُجْرَتَهُ بِحَسَبِ تَعَبِهِ.

Now he who plants and he who waters are the same, but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.

٩ 9 فَإِنَّنَا نَحْنُ عَامِلَانِ مَعَ ٱللهِ، وَأَنْتُمْ فَلَاحَةُ ٱللهِ، بِنَاءُ ٱللهِ.

For we are God’s fellow workers. You are God’s farming, God’s building.

١٠ 10 حَسَبَ نِعْمَةِ ٱللهِ ٱلْمُعْطَاةِ لِي كَبَنَّاءٍ حَكِيمٍ قَدْ وَضَعْتُ أَسَاسًا، وَآخَرُ يَبْنِي عَلَيْهِ. وَلَكِنْ فَلْيَنْظُرْ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ كَيْفَ يَبْنِي عَلَيْهِ.

According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another builds on it. But let each man be careful how he builds on it.

١١ 11 فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَضَعَ أَسَاسًا آخَرَ غَيْرَ ٱلَّذِي وُضِعَ، ٱلَّذِي هُوَ يَسُوعُ ٱلْمَسِيحُ.

For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ.

١٢ 12 وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدُ يَبْنِي عَلَى هَذَا ٱلْأَسَاسِ: ذَهَبًا، فِضَّةً، حِجَارَةً كَرِيمَةً، خَشَبًا، عُشْبًا، قَشًّا،

But if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or straw,

١٣ 13 فَعَمَلُ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ سَيَصِيرُ ظَاهِرًا لِأَنَّ ٱلْيَوْمَ سَيُبَيِّنُهُ. لِأَنَّهُ بِنَارٍ يُسْتَعْلَنُ، وَسَتَمْتَحِنُ ٱلنَّارُ عَمَلَ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مَا هُوَ.

each man’s work will be revealed. For the Day will declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself will test what sort of work each man’s work is.

١٤ 14 إِنْ بَقِيَ عَمَلُ أَحَدٍ قَدْ بَنَاهُ عَلَيْهِ فَسَيَأْخُذُ أُجْرَةً.

If any man’s work remains which he built on it, he will receive a reward.

١٥ 15 إِنِ ٱحْتَرَقَ عَمَلُ أَحَدٍ فَسَيَخْسَرُ، وَأَمَّا هُوَ فَسَيَخْلُصُ، وَلَكِنْ كَمَا بِنَارٍ.

If any man’s work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but as through fire.

١٦ 16 أَمَا تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّكُمْ هَيْكَلُ ٱللهِ، وَرُوحُ ٱللهِ يَسْكُنُ فِيكُمْ؟

Don’t you know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you?

١٧ 17 إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ يُفْسِدُ هَيْكَلَ ٱللهِ فَسَيُفْسِدُهُ ٱللهُ، لِأَنَّ هَيْكَلَ ٱللهِ مُقَدَّسٌ ٱلَّذِي أَنْتُمْ هُوَ.

If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is holy, which you are.

١٨ 18 لَا يَخْدَعَنَّ أَحَدٌ نَفْسَهُ. إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ يَظُنُّ أَنَّهُ حَكِيمٌ بَيْنَكُمْ فِي هَذَا ٱلدَّهْرِ، فَلْيَصِرْ جَاهِلًا لِكَيْ يَصِيرَ حَكِيمًا! (aiōn g165)

Let no one deceive himself. If anyone thinks that he is wise among you in this world, let him become a fool that he may become wise. (aiōn g165)

١٩ 19 لِأَنَّ حِكْمَةَ هَذَا ٱلْعَالَمِ هِيَ جَهَالَةٌ عِنْدَ ٱللهِ، لِأَنَّهُ مَكْتُوبٌ: «ٱلْآخِذُ ٱلْحُكَمَاءَ بِمَكْرِهِمْ».

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He has taken the wise in their craftiness.”

٢٠ 20 وَأَيْضًا: «ٱلرَّبُّ يَعْلَمُ أَفْكَارَ ٱلْحُكَمَاءِ أَنَّهَا بَاطِلَةٌ».

And again, “The Lord knows the reasoning of the wise, that it is worthless.”

٢١ 21 إِذًا لَا يَفْتَخِرَنَّ أَحَدٌ بِٱلنَّاسِ! فَإِنَّ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ لَكُمْ:

Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours,

٢٢ 22 أَبُولُسُ، أَمْ أَبُلُّوسُ، أَمْ صَفَا، أَمِ ٱلْعَالَمُ، أَمِ ٱلْحَيَاةُ، أَمِ ٱلْمَوْتُ، أَمِ ٱلْأَشْيَاءُ ٱلْحَاضِرَةُ، أَمِ ٱلْمُسْتَقْبِلَةُ. كُلُّ شَيْءٍ لَكُمْ.

whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come. All are yours,

٢٣ 23 وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَلِلْمَسِيحِ، وَٱلْمَسِيحُ لِلهِ.

and you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.
